André Aciman
November 5, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeNo novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name. Nearly three-quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much loved, Academy Award–winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love. In his new novel, Find Me (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.
